Read what parents are saying about John G Whittier #2My daughter was discriminated against because of her age and was lowered to second grade when she had passed it and was supposed to be a third grader. Plus nobody called to tell me I learned about when she arrived home crying. And she was supposed to have an ESL teacher witch she never got. I went to the district nothing was done still waiting for the superintendent to call me. I ended up withdrawing my daughter and moving the experience was horrible.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere is a reason that these positive reviews are from many years ago and that there are so few. We ended up at John Adams after the boundary lines were redrawn in Scranton. We were unhappy from very early on. Many of the teachers act as if all of the families are poor and ignorant. There are no lines of communication between the school and home. The PTA is not very receptive to input. The PSSA scores are terrible, and while that may not always be a bad thing, in this case it is. The academics are subpar and the class sizes are large. The pre-school program excellent, the environment is clean. There is a character building model in place, but is poorly implemented.Parent Review9y ago - William Prescott #38

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school picks and chooses the students it cares to like. My son was in 4th grade here and it seemed as though the only 2 fourth grade teachers were teaming up on him. Picking and choosing students (someone else I knew had the same problem also) The one teacher rambled to me on the phone, she became loud when I seemed puzzled because my son is a good boy. I told her we could have a meeting to see what this was really about. Here she was overreacting and her only possible complaint to the principle was my son was too quiet. Yes too quiet. Grades were great. She threw accreditations in my face and became more irritated when there was no reasoning behind her behavior. I pulled my son from the school. Be careful if your child is in the 4th grade here and pay attention if they become upset.Other Review7y ago - Mcnichols Plaza
